In China, there is a young roboticist who is challenging Boston Dynamics after founding Unitree Robotics (宇树科技) that he serves as the CEO and his name is XingXing Wang (王兴兴). At just 35 years old in 2026, he has achieved what many thought impossible: democratizing high-performance robotics by making agile, four-legged machines both affordable and accessible. During his master’s in mechanical engineering at Shanghai University, he pioneered XDog, a groundbreaking low-cost, high-performance quadruped robot using innovative motor-driven tech. After a brief stint at DJI (where he resigned after just two months), Wang founded Unitree Robotics in August 2016. Under his leadership, Unitree launched iconic models like Laikago, Go1, B1, and the humanoid H1—achieving over two-thirds market share in robot dogs and the bestselling humanoid worldwide. Driven by a relentless vision to make robots as common as smartphones, XingXing Wang represents an inspiring shift in Chinese innovations.
